So, Loredana is our newest
investigator! Her mother is a less-active member that we went looking for a
couple weeks ago, only to find out from Loredana that her mother has Alzheimer's
and is confined to her bed. But Loredana left us her number and said we could come
back to share a message. When we went this week she was at the window waiting
for us and even though she was exhausted from the effort of taking care of her
mother we were able to bring the Spirit into her home. She said she would never
have time to read the Book of Mormon and that she couldn't follow our questions
because of how tired she was, and yet she agreed to have us come back for
another lesson! I don't know what will happen next. But I do know Loredana felt
something and that she wants to feel it again.

A miracle happened with Vittoria: she's
been reading the Book of Mormon from the beginning and highlighting and taking
notes as she goes! She was concerned about some of the things she read, but the
Spirit told us exactly what to say and we invited her to pray about it. She
seemed satisfied with the answer we gave her
and said she would keep reading.This is a big miracle because in the past she
didn't want to read the Book of Mormon from the beginning, she just wanted
specific verses to read. And yet that's exactly what she's doing! She didn't
come to church so still working on that, but
things are looking up.

We've been counting the number of
conversations we have on the street with people about the gospel and this week
we pushed our record up to 58! The goal for this week is 70 and I'm confident
we can make it...:)

Hoping to see Mariano and Carla this
week and looking forward to updating you guys on them! Cagliari is blowing me
away with all the miracles I've been seeing. It's a good place to be.
